I have this HC that Kid and Birdie sometimes spend their time bonding through makeup. Birdie finds Kid's lipstick stash and they both try it out on each other. Of course, you can count on Birdie to do a "fantastic" job. 😆

Or when the crew goes out, Kid, once in a blue moon, would do Birdie's makeup.

"Stop moving so much woman."

"You're smacking the blender way too hard on my face!"

"Well, beauty is pain, deal with it"

....*Birdie then blows the whole container of powder on Kid's face in retaliation*

That's gold! 😭

Okay, here's how it is with Kid, birdie and make-up, in a scenario where she's actually part of the crew (let's say the Emperorverse).

Birdie doesn't normally wear any make-up. Kid teaches her about it and how to apply it, but she has zero talent (or patience) for it. He doesn't mind but - because he loves when she's wearing lipstick so much - he gifts her one of his favorite shades. Even if she doesn't openly show it, birdie treasures it to the point she starts wearing it often, and that's the only thing she learns to put on properly.

Kid also loves to do her make-up, although he won't admit it out loud. Birdie knows it, so every once in a while she'll find an excuse to ask for it, for his enjoyment, as a secret little treat. They both know it, but it stays unspoken. I like the idea you suggested, that they do it when they're alone on the ship. ♥️

The only thing birdie learns and likes to do for Kid in this regards is applying his nail polish. It becomes one of their things.

ok. So. Hear me out. It's just a funny thing, also I just enjoy torturing birdie and killer and I love Doruya, Law, and Kuzan.

So for context, because this image wouldn't leave- I checked, and apparently- it's not uncommon for parents of red hair and brown hair to have a blondish kid. And.. You're probably seeing where I'm going with this

So. I may or may not have been laughing for half an hour at the image of kuzan being born with blonde hair and everyone being absolutely flabbergasted. Doruya popping in and asking what everyone is thinking "Why is it blonde?"

everyone, almost simultaneously, turning to Killer- he is in fact one of the most intellectual. Yes that's it.. No one thought of anything less...

he has no explanation. "I... Think it'll fade in with time..? "

(Needless to say I like to think he'd be a little disappointed if it did start to fade in but that's my little fantasy 👀...along with it I have a light fear Doruya would probably still think they did got together at least once at some point. Not resulting in Kuzan though. Something I'm sure she brushed away though. I'm fucked up in the head okay? I'm sorry. ▄█▀█●)

Aw, that's funny and adorable! 😭 I'm sure Killer would be secretly happy Kuzan is blond like him. ❤️ Whereas Kid wouldn't like it one bit. 😂

As for Doruya, she's not the kind of person who lets thoughts fester under the surface, so I think at some point she'd blurt out to Killer or birdie (or both) "SO, did you two do it?!" - I can imagine their horrified faces! 😭
